I went out there yesterday with a friend to play around at this revised course. It seems to be a bit better but still miss that old #2 layout over the pond. Nice work!! Feels like a mix of Chili and MCC course there.

Few notes for the course supervisor to know about...

- Bit confusing to find #11 tee and basket after finishing #10 hole. Maybe need to close off the old path to #11 to direct the players to the new path to new tee?

- The newly installed basket #6's lock are cut but not removed. Need to check all baskets' locks. I think #17 has no lock and can easily take away.

- Can't find #18 tee but took a guess to shoot it from the "pit" area in line with old #18 basket placement downhill. Need to place either two flags or colored rocks for #18 tee until new cement pad are placed.

I played Parma on 8/5/10 and it was perfect. There were about 10 people that showed up that have never played the course and they all had a hard time finding hole 2. Every person went to the tee box for 4 and shot at basket 7 thinking it was hole 2. I made the same mistake first time out on the course. I think it would be useful to put a sign on one of the trees by hole 1 basket directing players to hole 2 and 3.

I love Parma. It is without a doubt, my favorite course and I strive to make it the best.

1. I'm working on an 18th hole, as Adam pointed out, but need help. I'll be there tomorrow evening if anyone is available; 4p - 7p. As soon as the hole is done, we can get cement in.

2. When the cement is put in, we will look to add directional signs at the same time using 2x4 and some stuff I picked up from lowes. I will cement the posts in areas that will provide everyone with where to go.

3. We will look to add tee signs once we have the money. These are definitely needed.

I'm also working on a "to do list" that individuals can get out there and complete the tasks. These will meet requirements for work days. Just let me know once they are done.

Andrew, I can stay a little longer and at least show you what needs to be done. My ideal hope would be for people to come out whenever they can and help. There are a lot of things to be done out there.

The new hole is starting to take shape. This Saturday is a work day, to finish the whole. The goal is to have everything cut and dragged out, cement poured, and basket in place. There's still a ton of work to do on it, so please try to make it out, even if only for an hour! Bring chainsaws, loppers, hand saw, pole saw, rakes, wheelbarrows and anything else you thing might help.

OLD NEWS!!! I already inform you guys few posts ago in August of 2010 that the #6 basket's lock has been cut. I'm guessing that NO one even acknowledge it for couple months until now.

I'll do it. I'm off Wednesday, and playin' anyways, so I'll hit Parma. I did a walkthrough checking them last time, and 12 baskets aren't locked up. Only 3, and 7-11 are secured. 18 has a bolt that I may or may not be able to get off. Frickin' bag's gonna be heavy with all those locks!

I'll probably be there around noon(ish) if anyone else has the day off and wants to throw!

All locked up except for two holes. One blocked by concrete, and another had a bolt. It was like playing a round on Dagobah. That course was swamped! I have they keys, so we'll have to meet up so you can get them.

Of note: It looks like the wind the other day took down a tree on 4. It came close to the basket, but thankfully missed. It is blocking the path (bog) to 5, and you'll need chainsaws to remove it.

On a personal note, we need to destroy the giant thorn bush to the right of 7's teebox. My buddy threw his disc in there throwing 5, and that thing kicked our asses for 15 minutes! It took away everything we threw at it. Sticks. My baseball. Flesh.

Any or all of those thorny bushes have been getting cut down when found. We just need to make sure to get that one at some point. Anyone is welcome to do so in the meantime just be sure to haul it far away from any places of play.
